Cairn is getting a new Free Solo mode

The Game Bakers studio has revealed a new game mode for its climbing and survival game Cairn. It's called Free Solo mode, and here's a video for it.

In this mode, even the slightest fall is fatal, and players will have to restart the game from the beginning. There will be no respawn option to resume the current game. In addition, our character's backpack will be reduced to the bare minimum, making inventory management more complicated, and all this without ropes or pitons for the entire climb.
